Elysium Tide by James R. Hannibal - A Book Review

  

I totally enjoyed this suspense novel by author James R. Hannibal. While it began with a rather gruesome scene in an operating theater in London, England, the story quickly moved to the beautiful island of Maui. This is where neurosurgeon Dr. Peter Chesterfield meets Detective Lisa Kealoha, head of the Maui Investigative Service Bureau's Criminal Investigative Division's Gang Task Force. Together they work to solve a case of murder in which Lisa's long-time friend, Kelly Alana, is the victim. Additional cases spring up from this one, adding to the danger and to the suspense. k

This book is fast-paced with lots of unexpected twists. It keeps the reader on his or her toes and glued to the book. The theme of needing to make a choice now of where one plans to spend eternity is an important one, as is the importance of sharing one's faith while there is still time.

The Paris Betrayal by James R. Hannibal - A Book Review

   

I was so glad to have two rainy days in which to devour this book. I can only hope for a sequel. This is one I will definitely be recommending to my husband. It is not always easy to find books that appeal to both men and women. A well-written spy novel with a hint of romance is just the ticket. Ben Calix is a man of honor who has been labeled a traitor, a man who finds himself without support or resources while trying to save thousands from a horrible death. The author's background as a stealth pilot, one who has not only been shot at, but who has been chased down winding German roads by an armed terrorist, gives him insight into his protagonist's life, adding to the intrigue of his story.
